Rajiv Menon talks about working with Thala Ajith in Kandukondein Kandukondein

Kandukondein Kandukondein is a film which showcased Ajith in a totally different dimension, more of an actor, than a star. He played the role of a struggling aspiring young director, who had to take wedding photographs to earn money for food and livelihood.

Behindwoods recently caught with the film's director, Rajiv Menon, who is also an acclaimed cinematographer and ad filmmaker. While discussing about how he showcased Ajith in a role like that, Rajiv Menon told, "Ajith had just completed his operation and was resting in the hospital. He had a back surgery, and Vaali had not yet released. So, that is the time when I went and met him. He was not the super successful Thala at that time; he was an actor.

He was very much co-operative throughout the filmmaking, and he expected some big punch lines to come, but it is not there. He has a cult following today, but when I was working with him at that time, he was just an actor."
